Player Review
91 - TOTS
I packed Wendell through the guaranteed Bundesliga TOTS SBC and I have to say he has far exceeded my expectations. I have been using regular Alex Sandro for a very long time and was very convinced that he was the best LB in the game. Until Wendell came along! So far, Wendell has been the most efficient LB in my opinion, easily shutting down wingers and forwards as well as utilizing his blazing pace to lock down even some of the fastest players like Neymar and Lozano. There have been numerous times as well when I have been caught off in a counter and Wendell definitely is a lifeline on his own to delay the ensuing attack. Not to mention, playing alongside with my Prime Desailly definitely makes defending much easier in the pace department. I do have Anchor on him as I see that there's not much point to increasing his pace and defending as he's already very good in both of those departments. Rather, I wanted to amp up his physicality (85) since it's his lowest but needed attribute than shooting which is not that necessary in my opinion. My only issue was that his stamina does display as 90 in stats, but it seems more like 85 as he normally gets tired in ET and loses a lot after games.
- Blistering Pace
- Strength (70) feels more like 85+ with Anchor
- Excellent passing
- Great dribbling (keeps ball close to him)
- Makes great overlapping and supporting runs at the right time
- Can win decent amount of defensive headers despite height (5'9") and jump stat (80)
- Killer combo if you have him alongside a fast CB
- Shooting
- Stamina
- Little too pricey
